Masterclass on “Case Law in the European Court of Human Rights”

On May 17, 2016, the European University Institute of Law organized another masterclass on the topic “Case Law in the European Court of Human Rights”.

The lecture was delivered by Georgian scholar and former judge of the international human rights court, Mindia Ugrekhelidze.

The masterclass was conducted in an interactive format, allowing participants to actively engage in discussion and deepen their knowledge of the practical aspects of European human rights law. The speaker’s many years of judicial experience attracted particular interest, as he shared with the audience the key elements of his professional practice in detail.

Special attention was paid to the importance of the precedent-based case law of the European Court of Human Rights, its role in national legal systems, and the mechanisms through which the Court’s practice is developed.

Mindia Ugrekhelidze shared the experience he had accumulated during his work at the Strasbourg Court and reviewed some of the most significant and influential cases in the field of human rights protection. He placed particular emphasis on the Court’s approaches to issues such as the right to a fair trial, freedom of expression, and the protection of private life.

The masterclass provided participants with an opportunity not only to deepen their theoretical knowledge, but also to gain practical insight into the functioning of international human rights protection mechanisms.
